Enjoy.
Ive just found your mods. And OHHHH BOY, it breathed a whole lot of life in to my Anti Stasi, since I'm playing alone and I can now actually lead my men on more than squad
Glad you like the mods man
@@drongomods Oh creds for responding on such an old vid :D
And for anyone who actually have friends, Use Drongo's Artillery or Air mods, to easily fill background rolls and have them behave competently and useful
Hey Drongo - hoping you're still checking comments. I saw in another thread you mentioned a "virtual airfield object in the editor" for a situation where a map doesn't come with a pre-coded airfield. I can't find that object for love nor money - was it removed in an update, or am I just blind? If it is removed, is there a way to add an airfield? (We have an opposing op coming up, and we want to add a space for OPFOR aircraft).
I'm not sure if I just missed it but is there a way to have only one person have access to DAO interface (Tablet thingy)?
And as an added thing is it possible to have the reports from the aircraft (example: "Cleared hot") to only show up for the person who has the DAO interface enabled?
Brilliant mod! ArmA 3 really is way more fun with this.
Hi Drongo - Is there a way I can disable the chat notifications? Or is that hard coded? Just wanted to say thanks for all the work you've put over the years on all the mods. You've made me a happy man!
Is this mode working only for Altis or for every map? Its awesome btw, especially the "be the gunner" option.
excellent work !!!
Just brilliant
Once the aircraft is airborne everything is OK but problems occur while the jets try to taxi to takeoff.. Sometimes they taxi via random paths (not via appropriate taxiway) and gets stuck in some random pieces of geometry and sometimes they crash during taxi(but very rarely).
Is there a way to call in airstrikes purely with a laser designator? I have a lot of trouble calling in a strike whenever a vehicle is moving.
Hey, im trying to use the ac130 to load men after it lands, is there way to disable the VAM?
It can be disabled through the dialog (lower right hand button) or with this code:
_aircraft setVariable["daoUseVAM",FALSE,TRUE];
ac130 works with this?
so i've just discovered this and i hope you're still around to reply. This has to do with having the aircraft land, specifically the USAF ac-130. I give it the order to land, i pick the airstrip to land it, and it just nosedives into the ground. Am i doing something wrong?
I've heard similar reports from other users, I think the issue is in the config of that aircraft. Nothing I can do about that, I just use the default BIS land command.
@@drongomods im pretty new when it comes to working the editor. How do i use that? i try setting the landing waypoint and still get the same result. I did notice it begins to land at the waypoint, but always falls short and eats the dirt
@@drongomods no worries. I ended up figuring out that having it return to the air corridor keeps it from crashing. But yea, it's definitely the bird's configs. I looked at them and they have a ton of extra flight parameters compared to any other C-130
I wish there was a way to add radio chatter for those aircrafts when i give them commands
Hey Drongo, great mods and work. Been trying to get use your mod with the Freedom Carrier. The planes don't seem to want to take off without crashing or land. Been using vanilla assets. Am I being a dufus in someway? Many thanks in advance
Carrier launches no longer work unfortunately.
Drongo Mods cheers fella! At least I know I am not an idiot!
@@drongomods man please help me I can't make the plane drop a bomb and when it drops it doesn't hit where I send it like I put it to drop a bomb in a place and it goes straight 😔😭😭
@@neucibertolin3587 Test it without mods.
Not sure if you are still active on this, but do you know how compatible with aLive module this is?
Hello Drongo, I really like your addon, but since I have using TPW mod too then some aircraft do some weird things. I've been tested with and without TPW and the thing happen when I launch DAO and TPW. peace
Please report the specific issue on my discord.
Hello Drongo could you not put in a High speed flyby or buzz the tower.
Hey, i downloaded your mod and i really like it, but I seem to have a problem with it : There is no Airport/Airfield Icons on the map, even if i turn on any markers (I play on Altis). So i cannot land the planes :/
If you could help me with that... Thx
Sidenote: If i can suggest you, you should add a script that makes the planes follow the acces ramps and taxiways.
What mods are you running? What happens if you try to land a plane even without markers?
@@drongomods When I try to land an aircraft. It asks me to click on a airbase. Because there's no markers, it does nothing but says " No airfield selected "
The mods I use :
CBA_A3 ; Ace ; CUP ; some Firewills aircrafts like F-16/EA-18/AV-8B... ; USS Nimitz
Okay mate, I'm overhauling the landing code to detected all airports on any island and dynamic ones as well, so let me know how you go after the next update.
@@drongomods is the mod updated? if not keep me informed plz.
Yeah mate, there was an update a few days ago. The landing code has been redone. Let me know how it goes.
Do they automatically rearm when they land or do I need to have logi?
They will automatically refit.
@@drongomods Few questions. First I cant seem to get Helicopter to missile lock on tank. Second Radar doesn't seem to show anything on the map. Is this because I placed it after start of the game?
how do you get the USAF a10 to use the long burst instead of short?
Looks like a great mod but cannot align the terminal to the 'H' button as the mod doesn't appear in the drop down menu on 'configure addons'. The mod is installed correctly and even appears on the title screen. Thanks
You have CBA installed?
@@drongomods Hi, so i've only got air ops and CBA loaded. For me, It looks like its not working when using mission editor. The 'H' key dosent work and air ops isn't on the drop down menu in 'configure addons'.
However it does all appear when doing it on the 'main menu' options. Any suggestions?
@@nijmegan05 I have the same issue. And I do have CBA installed. I cannot get he terminal up no matter what I try as well as no option in Addons configuration to change it.
For the life of me I can not get my aircraft to show in the loitering section of my tablet only drones, and only certain type of drones. Any ideas anyone?
Make sure the crew of the aircraft is on the same side as the player.
IS it normal that my unit gets deleted when I try to land them? and another problem I found is that I can only do 1 run, is that intentional?
Yes, they go into Virtual Airfield Management and can be spawned again. Not sure what you mean by only 1 run.
Drongo Mods so does that mean, there is a cool down time after landing, before the unit could be used again?
@@Danhim_cion Yes, in the current version it is only 1 second though (for testing).
Hey Drongo, how do I not have the chat messages appear from the aircraft?
You can't turn them off.
How do we refuel? The planes run out of fuel, then they crash to the ground.
They can fully refit at any carrier or airfield.
@@drongomods what if there are no airfields or carriers around? I'm playing on Kunduz, Afghanistan map, and it's just a desert. Love the mods btw. DCE, Artillery, and everything is amazing.
@@Cause023 Glad you like it. You can put down a virtual airfield object in the editor, it should work.
@@drongomods Hey mate - loving the mod but could you point out where that object is? I've been unable to find one, and it's a bit of an issue with the maps I'm using. Doesn't show up in the Modules and I can't find a prop or anything of that sort of name.
How to make the stay at airport until you need them
Best way is to use VAM
@@drongomods thanks cool i get now i was like why are my birds not stay on i end up sending them to the front line first even though they are my backup forces lol thanks though
I can't find your add-on when Ib configure add-on
Sorry mate, I can't understand what you mean.
Not sure if you're still responding here but I'm having trouble getting planes to egress, when they finish a bomb run or something else they get a loiter checkpoint way off the map and they ignore further orders
There are numerous bugs that have popped up that didn't happen in testing. I'm working on other stuff so the next patch will probably be next year.
@@drongomods Thanks so much for all your great mods mate, just wondering about your opinion on vcom and combatability with this, yours and other mods you use? Can make the game stutter and slog (Vcom) without faster cpu clocks, but there is nothing better with inf, it seems to have experimental aircraft ai too.
This still happens right? The planes keep flying out of the map. I need to go into Zues and put them back occasionally.
@@Cause023 Are you using the latest version?
@@drongomods I subscribed to the mod just last week so I would assume so.
i cant seem to get any designated airfields
how do i get them?
great mod but how to set up a VAM?
Check the readme in the mod folder.
It works only with Vanilla aircraft?
It works with modded aircraft.
does it spawn enemies automatically??
No, it only gives control over friendly assets.
how do the ai use this?
